Hi Steve.

Received my RT II today and would like to get one of your low rider clips for it. Kershaw has decided to use 5 mm hole spacing for the clip mounting screws so you will have to drill new holes. I hope this won't present any problems - looks like plenty of G10 and steel liner to tap into. I have attached a picture.

Yeah sorry Fred but that is the standard ZT clip and its not one I do a low rider for. Spacing is just too tight on that one to make a viable clip work out.

Sorry man

Could you drill & tap new holes with a wider spacing?

That is a possibility. Some liners are quite hard if they are stainless. It all depends on what I think after drilling the holes. If they fight a cobalt drill bit too much I may not feel comfortable trying to thread them or one if thats all it takes. I think you know the routine to get it to me though. Just mark where you want it and I'll see what is what.

No problem at all my friend. :thumbup:

Package on the way back Fred.

Thanks my friend. $65 total. I only had to drill one hole to make it work. It has a skelentonized liner in there and it was a bit tricky finding a place to put a hole but I managed. Hope you like it. Anyway, they are both on their way home officially.:thumbup:

The knives and clips arrived yesterday. As usual, a great job. The RT II clip is very nice, perfectly placed, and you have even managed to leave the lanyard hole useable.

Cleaning up the knife with some EEzox, I wiped down the royal blue clip and it turned a beautiful black with a blue tinge. At last, a way to get an (almost) black clip. :thumbup: Don't know how durable/permanent this effect is, but I thought I would pass along my discovery. The picture was taken in bright light; in shade the clip is almost the color of the G10 handle. Might be sending some clips back to you to re-anodize to royal blue.

Never heard of that stuff you used. Well, thats interesting for sure. I may have to track down some of this EEzoz stuff to do some experimenting of my own.:thumbup: Thanks Fred!

Here you go http://www.eezox.com/knife-care.html

I have been using it on my firearms for years. It is a good dry lubricant and one of the best rust preventers I have ever come across. Similar to Tuf-Glide, and may be made by the same people.

The reason I was so surprised is that I had wiped down with EEZOX a denim blue clip you had made for me a few years ago and simply got a slight darkening which went away as the carrier evaporated. This clip disappears against the dark blue chino slacks I am wearing today.
